Beautiful, charming and undeniably irresistible, Charlotte Willoughby turned quite a few heads when she moved into the sleepy little town of Willow Creek. Though rumours of her trysts soon made her infamous, it was her growing brood of doubtful paternity that raised eyebrows and got the tongues wagging.
Little would the good folk have imagined that years later Charlotte would be revered as a saint, goddess and saviour of Simkind. Neither would they have dreamt that she would be the first of many... But we are jumping too ahead of the times... Let the tale start at the very beginning!
Here is my first story on the forum! It is based on the Official 100 Baby Challenge! I hope you enjoy and I'd love to hear your comments!

"In which Geoffery Laadgraab does some pushups to enchant a very pretty lady..."
Our saga starts with a young Charlotte moving into the derelict Crick Cabana in Willow Creek. She was blessed with natural good looks: long chocolatey hair, high cheekbones and a curvaceous figure.
The state of the house caused little worry for her as she was far more interested in exploring the quaint town, and even more interested in its meagre male population. She wasted no time in striking a conversation with the first man she set eyes on, the aristocratic, and very much married, Geoffery Landgraad.
In her defence, the usually diligent and conscious Geoffery was charmed by the young and vibrant young women. So much, that he decided to win her heart by demonstrating his still youthful physique with a series of pushups!
Elderly Mrs.Hines, however, seems to be sensing some trouble - and an opportunity to ingratiate herself to the fearful Mrs.Landgraab - as she paused on her morning jog to warily appraise the conversation…
In his ancient days, Geoffery Landgraab would claim it was some witchcraft that led him to father the first of That Brood.
Nevertheless, he was beaming with joy as Charlotte gleefully broke the news to the respected patriarch of his illegitimate child.
Settling down into life in the small town was not without its mundane tasks. After Geoffery had departed to his normal, respectable life, Charlotte struggled to grasp the nuances of simple culinary feats.
And the not so ladylike feats of repairing the leaky plumbing.
And loneliness would set in when Geoffery rushed home to his family after their passionate evening trysts.
The pretty and vivacious Charlotte was not alone for long. It did not take her long to meet the golden-headed Miguel Whitten. Married with two children and new to town, Miguel found Charlotte's vibrant company a fresh breath of air to his mundane tasks as a stay at home dad. Miguel was a handsome genius, and not as easily seduced as Geoffery. Undeterred, Charlotte pursued him relentlessly and finally succeeded.
Charlotte and Geoffery's son, George was born one sunny afternoon. Broody and frisky as ever, Charlotte was almost immediately expecting with Miguel.
George ged up to a child. He pleased everyone's sense of propriety by closely resembling his mother rather than his father. The trait genes were not so concerned about propriety and blessed George with the active trait, a reminiscent of the workout that his father did to impress his mother when they first met.
Not one for routine, Charlotte set her sights on yet another married man, the hunky and successful Eric Lewis.
Eric proved to be a welcome addition. He was a father figure to George and the two bonded well over homework and TV.
And he was by Charlotte's side when Miguel's daughter Marigold was born. More in love than she had ever been, Charlotte was expecting soon after a steamy day under the covers with Eric.
Thank you for the wishes! I'm on at baby 17 at the moment, a bit too slow than I'd wish. The biggest issue is keeping the game alive without boredom setting in!
In which four doors close, and one door opens...
Marigold grew up into a petite little girl, with her father's bright gold hair and her mother's outgoing nature. She wasted no time in making new friends everywhere: even with the formidable Alice Spencer-Kim, the wife of her mother's boyfriend. Alice seemed quite charmed with the little girl who eagerly begged her for a game of chess-or perhaps she had not heard the rumours of her husband's fling-yet!
Unbeknown to her, Marigold's first friend was actually her own half-sister, Audrie Whitten from her father's 'official' marriage.
George was an athletic kid and the family oriented Geoffery loved spending time with his son, though he was getting a bit skeptical with Charlotte. Though he thought it fair that she had other relationships, the sheer variety of appearance in her other offsprings was making him very uneasy,
Seemingly oblivious of Geoffery's string of thoughts, Charlotte found a new admirer: one dandy Franklin Unger-
married with kids! The good townsfolk were always eager spectators of Charlotte's follies did not fail to report the latest tryst.
Eric's twin daughters, Elizabeth and Elinor Willoughby were born one gloomy evening. Crick Cabana took in some major renovation to ensure the children got enough sleep and the babies got enough space!
Charlotte's bliss was not to last long though... Her growing brood was grabbing attention, especially with the athletic George and the outgoing Marigold.
"Mummy, Mrs.Hines was curious when I mentioned about Daddy and Uncle Franklin." Marigold remarked innocently one day after school. "I told her they all come to visit regularly."
"My goldilocks, next time anyone asks you, just tell Mummy is seeing the nice uncle Franklin at the moment." Charlotte was not too pertubed.
She should have been more caregul as the men decided to take the investigation into their own hands...
It all started with a date with Eric, whome Charlotte liked to cavort now and then. Little did Charlotte expect Geoffery and Franklin to turn up, their lips pursed in anger.
"Charlotte!" Franklin snarled. "You told me yesterday, you were expecting my child, and here you are flirting with Eric Lewis of all people! A married man with children! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
Miguel and Nancy Landgraad were no welcome additions...
"What kind of woman are you? Four married men!" The formidable Mrs.Landgraab screeched while her husband tried to hush her up.
"They are married, not me." Charlotte replied steadfastly, more angry than ashamed.
"Hush Nancy. Let's work this out between ourselves... It was long ago with Charlotte."
Miguel arched his eyebrows coyly.
"Well girl, you are quite some vixen! Can't say I'm too disappointed with you! Just don't tell my wife, hear 'ye?"
Eric simply turned around and stomped off, seething in fury. "I just didn't expect this from you, Charlotte..." She could hear him muttering. "I...I wanted to divorce Alice and marry you!"
Whatever second thoughts Charlotte may have had were thrown to the winds when Mortimer Goth came jogging into her life..!

@PlayerRac2: Look forwards for a more in-depth storyline
@Rivie: I agree, it's really challenging. But I find I am able to concentrate more than for a legacy challenge. I am keeping the story really fast paced but hope to put up a sorts-of family tree soon.
@haylz18 : You don't have to wait for long
In which the good townsfolk satisfy their curiosity by kneeling to a pirate ship...
Despite the constant gossip surrounding Charlotte's exploits, George, Marigold, Elinor and Elizabeth had a very normal childhood. They had the usual sibling rivalry, tantrums and homework headaches.
With their raven hair, the twins Elizabeth and Elinor resembled their father in appearance but were very much different in temperament. Marigold and Elizabeth bonded over sisterly gossip. The more serious and tomboyish Elinor often felt left up. George made up for it by engaging her in his various mischievous plots.
The children's favourite time were, unsurprisingly, were the weekends where they frolicked in the park and ramped up on their skills.
George was the brave captain, guiding the ship through murky waters.
Pretty little Marigold was his lieutenant, tirelessly steering at his command.
Elegant Elizabeth cheerily belittled the sea monster.
The logical Elinor wondered how the sea monster could travel as fast as the ship.
The good townsfolk, forever curious over Charlotte's growing brood, made it a point to do their morning workout below the hull of the pirate ship, citing its shade against the morning sun.
They were, however, as kind as to help the children with their homework.
Charlotte embarked on a passionate affair with Mortimer Goth. She also gave birth to Franklin's twin daughters; Fredrica and Frances.
Yet, her former lovers were not so eager to forget her. She begrudgingly accepted a date with Geoffery after he pestered her for the upteenth time.
"I'm glad you finally agreed to come." Geoffery said with a thin smile. "I have something very important to talk with you."
"So you said." she replied noncommittally.
"I am more interested in how you are so fertile than the parentage of your offsprings." He said tersely.
"You are wasting some valuable time." she smiled elusively.
"Maybe, but as a detective I come to hear many weird things from the arcane circles"
"Que sera sera. For now, keep your wife from sending her goons after me."

I'm still at the end of Gen 1 so that mate finding is not too hard at the moment. But I will have to shift to importing sims from the gallery for future generations.
I'm having it as in 100 children, not 100 men which would burn me out! With multiples I think I'd be able to do it with 80 men,
"In which Malcolm does some babysitting at the most unlikely of places..."
Marigold and Elizabeth were especially close growing up. Both girls had the social butterfly aspiration and took it up to themselves to explore the neighborhood.
"Err...what are you doing here?" He recognized them instantly.
"That's not polite. It should be 'What would you young ladies like?'" Elizabeth pouted.
"We were doing some social skills practice," Marigold explained patiently. "And we were curious why all the posh people come here."
"Does your mother know where you are?"
The girls looked guilty.
Resigned, Malcolm assigned himself the role of de-facto babysitter.
Apart from her socialite endeavours, Marigold developed a love of fishing. She was mentored again by Alice Spencer-Kim who seem to have taken a fond liking for the girl o, or perhaps was more interested of gleaning information about her husband's two illegitimate offsprings.
Despite being estranged with their mother, Eric maintained a specially close relationship with his daughters, dropping into help them with their homework.
After completing a particular strenuous hour of homework, Elizabeth and Elinor take a twinnie selfie.
And it was time for the first birthday! Charlotte made a cake.
George surreptitiously puffed at the candles.
And voila he was a teen!
Franklin's twins Frances and Fredrica became children. They took after their mother.
Here is Frances.
And here is Fredrica.
Meanwhile Marigold ages up to a teen.
Spin-off!
While it is pretty hard to write a 100 baby challenge with great depth, I wrote a oneshot standalone spin-off with George for the August Short story challenge. It is a bit darker than the original and I am NOT good with romance. Nevertheless, here it is!
Great chap!!
